Re: Police Cloth Insignia
Thank you for the kind words. Until recently these were very much underappreciated by the collecting community.

Re: Police Cloth Insignia
Very nice collection.
Could you solve a problem.
My reference for the Postschutz has an orange collar patch.
Yet I’ve seen it described as a green patch with orange piping.
Would this be just variations from different periods?
The patches changed when the SS took control. I thought the collar insignia change to the standard SS, but did the Postschutz change to a green patch piped with orange to show that they weren’t your standard head-hunters?

Re: Police Cloth Insignia
Hello,
The Postschutz was not part of the civil police so a bit out of my interest, but I can offer an opinion.
My understanding is that an orange piped collar patch was used prior to being taken over by the SS. After the take over standard W-SS uniforms were worn with a Postschutz cuff title.
The early uniforms and insignia are EXTREMELY rare and I have never seen a tunic, so orange tab or orange piped tab.........my bet would be orange piped. they wore green tunics with slightly darker green trim and orange piping so a green tab with orange piping would make sense, but this is just a guess.
Best regards,

Re: Police Cloth Insignia
Thanks,
I thought maybe they had started of with the full colour patch (as you say they were part of civilian police like the waterways police) in the 20/30’s.
Then when Hitler got round to militarising everyone and the SS took over, changed to the SS patches with orange piping.
Here’s a link to an insignia sight you probably know of showing the postschutz badges.
The International Encyclopedia of Uniform and Rank Insignia around the World
Thanks again for your time.
